Calling all CBS deferred ED applicants!

I didn’t mean to be rude, but it just seams very odd that from what looks to be a quite large ED referral list, only 3 have been accepted so far (with only 7 working days left).

But anyway, if that is the case, then I’m not sure why this guy from the admin office would give me false info. That’s just wrong.

Funny you mention this - I was thinking the same thing this morning!

hmm yes, interesting observation. although given the reason we were all deferred in the first place was to get a better sense of the applicant pool to address how we fit in demographically, not that surprising. makes sense though that they would look first to fill slots based on things like gender, international, ethnic etc. before moving on to add diversity to the class by industry, work experience, profession etc.

this is all rampant speculation. but i just feel like on feb 1st, most of us will prob just asked to be on the official waitlist. this may be some type of freudian thing tho where i now associate cbs with "waitlist" haha. but we've come this far right guys, cant give up hope now...

Tomorrow is Friday. I predict that some of us will get some news in the next 24 hours.

Here's to hoping!

It's Friday!!!

Let's hope that isn't true! I think that would be a particularly harsh way to treat a group of candidates who demonstrated such a strong commitment to the school. I'm already a bit unimpressed that CBS thinks it is appropriate to defer early decision applicants - there's nothing "early" about making applicants wait in excess of five months for a decision (especially when so many RD applicants are receiving offers), and I'd be pretty upset if I was asked to keep waiting at this stage in the process.

I totally agree with you!

I think it is not right to keep people waiting for so long. I guess it is all because of the rolling admission method...

yea i hear you guys. waiting def sucks. but i suppose it's not unprecedented in the bschool app process...some of my friends who applied rd 1 back in early oct who were waitlisted wont hear decisions i think til like mid march i think. still tho would blow to be wl'ed again...but really, would u guys prefer to get dinged and just be done with it??

I'd take a waitlist over the ding, even though the wait will be agonizing. There's a reason why some chose to apply ED to CBS like me.

Looks like another day with no news...

yep, looks like another "week" (not just day) with no news

For that I'm gonna say Go Steelers instead of Jets this weekend.

Just got news on my deferral decision yesterday...obviously it wasn't a good one! haha.

Oh well, there's always next year...

Sorry to hear that cricketbeatsrugby!

Hey, no worries. There's other apps in the pipeline, and to have made it this far I think is a pretty decent accomplishment. Kudos to all of you guys!

Any updates from you guys? Kinda nervous....
